Biden stated "options" will be presented this coming Tuesday ... add a few days to review them and draft an EO ... then announcement is all that is
left. hint: inauguration is the following Monday.

do i see the worst happening ? no not yet, and not in this current climate.
it will evolve similar to 94 ... ppl will calm down and then they'll realize what ELSE went through while they were milling about in a fog of
anger.

did you know Obama quietly signed approval for him and Bush Jr to have 'lifetime' secret service protection ?? or the recent raises for Congress
??

ETA --> in case anyone responds with 'prove it' ... here ya go

security
As it stands now, the measure affects only two presidents -- Obama and predecessor George W. Bush.

and ...

raises
President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One
federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden.

and what's worse, these acts do not represent the original
intent of Executive Orders.

Guns is the pet gadget for most Americans that not yet have out-grown their "Cowboy" age.
Come on, we live in the 21st century, not in the 16th, so you need protection against what, the red-skins or so??

So in love with your guns eh... only macho's behavior. You feel safer... you could protect yourself?
All well trained eh... the fastest drawer eh... you really need an assault rifle to defend yourself, your family... right !! Better also have couple
of grenades or if you could get it, a mini neutron bomb that would really of help...as long as your neighbor doesn't have one yet ....!!

The most "advanced" nation in the world, with so many primitive thinkers.... Sorry I have to laugh about it !!
Some feel sick, dying of the thought they may perhaps asked to become civilized, and turn it their guns. They can't see what is really important in
live ... It certainly is not love for their brother sisters here on earth.

Talking about another civil war over maintaining the right to carry arms.... Silly poor souls...

Um, you have no clue what you're talking about. The ban had to do with certain semi-automatic guns.....not machine guns.

The Act created a flowchart for classifying 'assault weapons' and subjected firearms that met that classification to regulation. Nineteen models
of firearms were defined by name as being 'assault weapons' regardless of how many features they had. Various semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and
shotguns were classified as 'assault weapons' due to having various combinations of features.

The Act addressed only semi-automatic firearms, that is, firearms that fire one shot each time the trigger is pulled. Neither the AWB nor its
expiration changed the legal status of fully automatic firearms, which fire more than one round with a single trigger-pull; these have been regulated
by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986.

The Act also defined and banned 'large capacity ammunition feeding devices', which generally applied to magazines or other ammunition feeding devices
with capacities of greater than a certain number of rounds, and that up to the time of the Act were considered normal or factory magazines. Media and
popular culture referred to these as 'high capacity magazines or feeding devices'. Depending on the locality and type of firearm, the cutoff between a
'normal' capacity and 'high' capacity magazine was 3, 7, 10, 12, 15, or 20 rounds. The now defunct federal ban set the limit at 10 rounds.

During the period when the AWB was in effect, it was illegal to manufacture any firearm that met the law's flowchart of an assault weapon or large
capacity ammunition feeding device, except for export or for sale to a government or law enforcement agency. The law also banned possession of
illegally imported or manufactured firearms, but did not ban possession or sale of pre-existing 'assault weapons' or previously factory standard
magazines that were legally redefined as large capacity ammunition feeding devices. This provision for pre-ban firearms created higher prices in the
market for such items, which still exist due to several states adopting their own assault weapons ban.

I have just (Jan. 11, 2013) created a White House petition pleading with the President to not use Executive Orders to enact any gun control
legislation, as it will result in an insurrection. It needs to get 150 signatures to get posted on their site. Please sign it and pass it on. It
started out longer, but it’s as long as the gov’s website allows… Here’s the link – wh.gov...

No you just have a narrow knowledge of the subject. the first ban on actual automatic assault weapons was in 1934, which didnt ban ownership all it
did was jack prices up a little and require federal permission to own auto guns.
And for the record that "ban" 1994 didn't make it illegal to own,sell,buy or use the listed weapons it prevented new weapons form being built for 10
years.
But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter does it? I still have all my beautiful guns. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Thanks for playing toots.
